A captivating single malt whisky for the sophisticated luxury spirits drinker who drinker who enjoys delicious extravagence and sensual pleasures. With a tremendous 'gourmand' appeal, the Nectar D'Or is a delicious, complex base spirit that, after a minimum of 10 years in ex-bourbon casks, is then extra matured in specially hand selected Sauternes wine barriques. This makes it rich and sumptuous with a heady, luscious, beguiling spectrum of aromatic patisserie desserts that helps create a memorable occasion whenever it is enjoyed. Non chill-filtered and with an ABV of 46%, its the key flavor notes are lemony, sumptuous and syrupy.
This golden spirit is often flagged by bartenders and sommeliers as a favorite; it s easy to see why. A decade in Bourbon casks, plus an extra two years in Sauternes barriques yields a fresh honeysuckle and vanilla perfume and a super-smooth spirit with creamy honey and nut flavors, with hints of dark chocolate and cinnamon. Very few spirits have such elegance and silky finesse. Good value, too. Kara Newman, 12/31/2011.
Nectar D’Or is aged in bourbon barrels for 10 years, before 2 years of finishing in sauternes wine casks. The nose offers apricots in syrup, honey, walnuts, and ripe green grapes, while the oily palate yields citrus fruits and honeyed cereal notes, along with white pepper and wood spice. The finish is long and oaky, with a fleeting return of apricots. Gavin Smith, Spring 2019.
